Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to mounting arrangements for high-frequency electro-optical components. Exemplary of such components are semiconductor laser sources for optical communications and the bias/driver circuitry currently associated with such sources.
- A standard mounting arrangement adopted for electronic components such as integrated circuits (IC's) includes a flat base member or board (submount) having electrical connections provided on at least one of its surfaces in the form of metallic areas such as metallic strips or pads.
- Various techniques may be resorted to in order to connect the components to such strips/pads. These techniques may include providing the components with leads or pins for soldering to the conductive strips/pads or more sophisticated solutions such as “flip-chip” bonding, SMD technology, possibly including the use of electrically conductive glues, and the like.
- Such prior art solutions are essentially based on a two-dimensional or bi-dimensional layout, where the lengths and widths of the components limit the number of components for surface unit. This may lead to fairly penalising situations in terms of submount area occupied, even if small size SMD components and compact layouts and assemblies are used.
- Also, optimisation of RF performance is severely hampered as the layout may be influenced by e.g. passive components used for bias networks.
- In operation at very high frequencies (in the range of 10 Gbit/s and above) in connection with opto-electronic components such as semiconductor laser sources, the need is strongly felt of reducing inasmuch as possible the wirebonding length, while also simplifying the geometry of connections provided at the submount level.
- Additional requirements arise as a result of the presence of the opto-electrical components. For instance, semiconductor lasers have a main or front facet from which a laser beam is generated that is to be injected into an optical waveguide along a substantially unimpeded propagation path. Such semiconductor lasers also currently have a back facet from which a secondary laser beam is produced. The secondary laser beam may be collected and detected by an opto-electrical component, such as a photodiode, e.g. for control purposes. Undesired back reflection of such secondary laser beam towards the laser source must be avoided as this may interfere with proper laser operation.
- An environment where the problems outlined in the foregoing are particularly evident is an integrated optical transmitter, including a laser diode and a laser driver as the basic components.
- In the presence of a laser capacitance of 1 or 2 pF and a capacitance of the output pads of the laser driver of a few pF, a parasitic inductance due to the connections between the laser diode and the laser driver of, say, 1 nH may generate a resonance frequency within the signal band, thus producing distortion and a penalty in terms of the system bit error probability (BER).
- A very small clearance must be kept between the pad for mounting the laser diode and the laser driver, so that the corresponding wirebonding is as short as possible, preferably less than 1 mm. Similarly, the ground connections of the laser driver include parasitic inductances that may affect the behaviour of the assembled circuit and must be kept as low as possible.
- Also, the circuit must include a laser bias network generally comprised of at least one SMD inductor. Such an inductor is intrinsically a rather “obtrusive” component in comparison with the laser source and the other auxiliary components located in the vicinity thereof. The inductor may be e.g. a SMD component in the form of a parallelepiped about 1-1.5 mm i.e. 1,500 micron long and roughly square end faces having sides about 500-750 micron long. This contrasts with the laser dimensions being typically in the range of 300×200 micron base area with a thickness of e.g. 90 microns.
- In order to be truly effective, the bias inductance has to be positioned in the close vicinity of both the laser diode and the laser driver, which strongly penalises the designer's freedom in devising the circuit geometry.
- The object of the present invention is thus to provide a solution meeting in a thoroughly satisfactory manner the conflicting needs considered in the foregoing.
- According to the present invention, that object is achieved by means of an arrangement having the features set forth in the annexed claims.
- Essentially, the invention is based on the concept of exploiting also the “third” dimension of the component (e.g. the bias inductor) involved in order to be able to assemble a higher number of components over the same area. The third dimension in question is the height, that is the dimension of the inductor in the direction orthogonal to the general plane of the submount. As this is quite often the major dimension of the inductor, a more efficient use of space in terms of mechanical layout may be achieved, thus giving rise to smaller assemblies while making the distances between the components smaller.
- Also, the inductor is preferably mounted at a location displaced laterally with respect to the lasing direction of the laser source, that is the direction of alignment of the front and back (lasing) facets of the laser. Such an arrangement of the inductor simultaneously ensures that the inductor does not impede the propagation path of the main laser beam generated by the laser source, while permitting the possible arrangement of a photodetector to collect the secondary radiation from the back facet of the laser source.
- The whole of the foregoing also permits optimisation of wirebonding design especially in respect of RF performance related to reducing the very critical wirebonding length between the laser and the RF laser driver output. This in turn reduces the influence of a radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) phenomena, thus permitting laser operation at higher speeds.
- In a particularly preferred embodiment, the arrangement of invention includes a submount with a recess and at least part of the laser driver is arranged in the recess so that the driver has an end surface extending from the recess substantially flush with the pad for mounting the laser source.
- The invention will now be described, by way of example only, by referring to the enclosed drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a general plan view of a submount for high-frequency components incorporating the arrangement of the invention, and
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1.
- In FIG. 1 reference1 indicates as a whole an assembly for a hybrid integration of an optical transmitter. This includes a
semiconductor laser 2 having associated a number of ancillary units/components arranged onto a submount generally indicated S. -
Semiconductor laser 2 has a main orfront facet 2 a from which a laser beam is generated along an axis designated X to be injected (by known means, e.g. a lens) into an optical waveguide such as an optical fiber along a substantially unimpeded propagation path. -
Semiconductor laser 2 also has a back facet 2 b from which a secondary laser beam is produced. The secondary laser beam may be collected and detected by an opto-electrical component, such as a photodiode, e.g. for control purposes. - The fiber and the lens comprising the optical radiation feature of transmitter1 as well as the control photodiode hinted at in the foregoing are of a type well known in the art. Correspondingly, these were not shown in the drawing in order to avoid rendering the drawing unnecessarily complex.
- Assembly1 further includes i.a. a laser driver circuit 3 that provides
laser 2 with a driver signal over a signal path. This is usually comprised of twobonding wires 4 in order to minimise the path inductance. -
Reference 5 denotes a dc feed pad that, in co-operation with abias inductance 6, defines a circuit for setting the required bias level forlaser 2. Such a level is usually rendered adjustable by the laser driver unit 3 via abias line 7. - Other sets of bonding lines collectively designated as8 and 9 connect the laser driver circuit 3 with ground pads designated 10 and 11, respectively. These bonding lines are used for feeding the laser driver while they in fact belong to the return path for the RF signal towards ground.
-
Pads pad 12 housing bothsemiconductor laser 2 andinductor 6. -
Pad 12 thus provides electrical connection for the RF (e.g. 10 Gbit/s) signal path towardslaser 2 viabonding wires 4 as well as for the d.c. bias path forlaser 2 frompad 5 viainductor 6. - Submount S is typically of a ceramic material such as Al2O3 and preferably includes a recessed or “sunken”
area 13 for mounting at least part of driver 3. Driver 3 may thus be arranged in therecess 13 so that driver 3 has its upper surface extending flush with thepad 12 for mountinglaser source 2 and the other elements of the assembly. This enables the corresponding wirebonding lengths to be minimised. - As better appreciated in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, instead of being mounted “flat” onto
pad 12,bias inductance 6 is mounted “upright”, that is with its major dimension (i.e. its longer direction of extension) arranged substantially orthogonal or perpendicular to the general plane of surface S′ of submount S. - This arrangement, that is
inductance 6 being mounted with its longest dimension substantially orthogonal to the plane of surface S′ of submount S, causesinductance 6 to have a much smaller footprint onmetallised pad 12 than in the case of a flat mounting. This enables locatinginductance 6 very close tolaser 2 with a length reduction in the verycritical wirebonding lines -
Inductor 6 is usually comprised of a SMD component in the form of a parallelepiped about 1-1.5 mm i.e. 1,500 micron long and roughly square end faces having sides about 500-750 micron long.Inductor 6 may thus be preferably mounted ontometallised pad 12 by resorting to aconductive glue layer 15. - As better appreciated in the plan view of FIG. 1,
inductor 6 is preferably mounted at a location displaced laterally with respect to the lasing direction X oflaser source 2, that is the direction of alignment of the front and back (lasing)facets 2 a, 2 b of the laser. - As a consequence,
inductor 6 will not impede the propagation path of the main laser beam generated from thefront facet 2 a oflaser source 2 towards the optical waveguide (not shown) into which the laser beam is injected. Possible arrangement of a photodetector to collect the secondary radiation from the back facet 2 b of the laser source is also permitted while avoiding that this may result in an undesired extension of the wirebonding towardslaser 2. - As used herein,
inductor 6 being “displaced laterally,” with respect to the lasing direction X oflaser source 2 also encompasses an alternative mounting arrangement (not shown) whereinductor 6 is at least partly aligned—i.e. not located as a whole side-off—with respect to lasing direction X. In such acase inductor 6 may have a face or surface possibly exposed to and likely to be impinged upon by the secondary radiation from back facet 2 b oflaser 2. In that case,inductor 6 is “displaced laterally” with respect to the lasing direction X by simply arranging it in such a way that such face or surface is tilted laterally with respect to lasing direction X so that any radiation from the laser back facet along direction X is reflected away from such direction and is not returned back towards the laser source. - Of course, without prejudice to the underlying principle of the invention, the details and embodiments may vary with respect to what has been described and shown by way of example only, without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the annexed claims.
